Support told me to post 'in the forums', so here I am.
Some months ago, several PW games appeared in my arc library, unwanted and unrequested. I've never (to my knowledge), played or even installed them. I can find no way to remove them, and support told me they cannot remove them. So as per support suggestion, I'm posting here to get a devs attention about how to remove them.
Any help please?

Per the link above, just go to your Arc library and right click whatever game you'd like to uninstall.
Aside from Star Trek Online, the other games that appear in my library for whatever reason are shown even though they're not installed and can't be right clicked. Could this be what you're seeing?
Reading comprehension not your strong point, I assume?
I'd assumed you might have downloaded something by mistake and may have wanted to uninstall it. Now I get that it's simply the fact that they appear in your library (per my pic) that bugs you. For what it's worth I'd agree that only games you've downloaded should appear in "your library". Best of luck getting the assistance you need.
No need to get snarky with people trying to assist you. You came to the forum looking for assistance, and you got that based on your post and you were assisted to the best of peoples knowledge on what you posted. Yes it's an annoyance that games that are NOT downloaded appear in the library. I suggest you make the recommendation to alter that.
You can try posting here ..... https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/arc#/categories/arc-general-discussion
If the responses were based on my posts, then they would not be mentioning uninstalling games that I had already said twice that I had not installed them, hmmmm?
The attempted help is appreciated, and I thank people for their efforts. What is not appreciated is having to repeat myself multiple times because people cannot seem to comprehend basic English!
Thank you for the link, I will try there.
Edit: It seems I cannot access that forum. The page loads with the page header (forums, guides, media etc), but the body of the page is plain grey. Clicking the forums main menu only has forums for the various games, nothing for Arc general discussion.
I gave you the right sub forum to post in just click on new discussion
See, now this is what makes me snarky. You post this after I posted:
What part of that post was not clear that I could not access the forum you linked? I appreciate you are trying to help, but for gods sake, read what is written, not what you think/want to be written.
Everyone here is trying to help, and sometimes its easy to miss a word here or there on a forum. It happens. Could you tone down the snark a bit because it could be taken the wrong way because intent doesn't always translate via text alone, and someone might report you for flaming even though you're trying to get help.

If you read the sequence of posts, you would see that cross posting in this situation isn't possible.
I'll cut down the snark. I assume you will repeat the info I've already repeatedly given that gets ignored? You don't seem to be so quick to tell people to read what is right there in black and white.
Is there an option to remove a game from your ARC library? I don't know. Maybe. Could be as simple as right click, remove from library. I don't know.
But in all honesty... its not taking up space. Its not like they're being secretly installed behind your back. They're just... there. On the shelf as it were. I know I've got a TON of games, both payed for and free (mostly giveaways because free is free), on my Steam. Do I have all of them installed? Nope. But they are there. Even a couple defunct games that are no longer active and playable. Maybe there's a way to organize your libarary like on Steam, where you can make a folder for the games you play regularly and those you don't. In which case... just make a folder and move the ones you don't want to see into that and minimize it so it doesn't show the contents and all you see is what you want to see.
Will this help? Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on how you can organize your library in ARC.

The third, however, I can't figure out - that one's Torchlight Two, and I don't even OWN that game (Because it has to be purchased), let alone have it installed.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
As far as I know Magic hasn't been officially released yet.

As an aside, how the dickens do I find my past posts?
